A SPECIAL MEETING
OF THR CITY COUNCIL CALLED FOR THIS
EVENING,
To Act Upon The designations Of the Board Of Public
Works-The Mayors Position In
the Business.

In view of the very undesirable position
in which the city has been placed by the
resignation of the Board Of Public Works,
His Honor Mayor Seabright has concluded
to call a special meeting Of both Branches
Of the City Council for this evening, when
it is hoped the First Branch will accept
the designations of the Board and then
20 into joint session with the
Second Branch for the election of
a new Board. Mayor Seabright
was impelled to take this course by q de-
sire to see the best interests of the city pro-
tected. There was no good reason why the
First Branch of Council should not have
acted with the Second in accepting the
designations, last Tuesday night, instead OF
lodging, as they did. This dodge threw
the matter over for two weeks before the
election of q new Board could take place,
and then the delays incident to the &C
ceptanee of the new members, their quail
ication, giving bonds, &c, would make
il nearly the first of August before any
thing worth mentioning in the way OF
public improvement could be done. The
Mayor fell in with the popular sentiment
that enough time had been wasted by
Council and the Board together, and de-
termined, by calling a special session for
tonight, to do what he could TO bring the
matter to an end. In q conversation last
night with q REGISTER reporter Mayor Sea-
bright said
"There many reasons why this matter
should be closed up and the work OF street
improvement commenced at once, and me
of the weightiest is the fact that a large
number of w~orkingmen are forced to lie IN
idleness through the good weather OF the
summer months. The first half Of the sea-
son has now been pretty etfectually wasted.
If the last hall should be wet and rainy
the result would be serious to the employ
eesof the Board Of Public Works and those
given work by the paving contractors. No
time should be lost in electing a new Board
of capable and energetic citizens and in
stalling them in office
The action of Mayor Seabright will meet
with hearty approval and Council should
be quick to respond and prompt to act.
